Dusty Old Thing

This may sound like hyperbole, but the following dance routine by the Nicholas Brothers very well might be the greatest dance routine I’ve ever seen. If you’ve never heard of the Nicholas Brothers, then you’re in for a treat! The Nicholas Brothers were a pair of acrobatic dancers who rose to prominence in the 1930s, and are arguably the greatest tap dancers to this day. The following clip shows their performance from the 1934 film Stormy Weather, in which they perform their famous leapfrog move (which you’ll see around the 2:23 minute mark). Make sure you watch the entire performance…you won’t be sorry!
